Lvl46 Fighter/Mage/Dad. I’m here to play board games and kick ass, and I can’t really do the second thing, so pull up a chair. I also play disc golf and run from zombies. Cancer survivor?

I would never have thought "I hope the President-elect picks Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State" but here we are
Hoooooooooo boy
While fixating/spiraling on how awful everything is going to get, I think I might actually have underestimated how dumb it will all be at the same time.

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

Oh yeah. It's definitely a trap. Better not do anything at all about it; it will absolutely go away without any repercussions. Like a measles outbreak at a homeschool meetup.
Fox News' Lawrence Jones: "I keep hearing this talking point from Democrats that the next election is gonna be about healthcare. That the president has to solve that. I think that's a trap! ... [people] aren't talking on a day-to-day basis about healthcare. So don't fall in that trap."

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Feels like they could have used at least 2 more weeks to workshop this message...
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."

Well, you see, son, the phrase “Eat the rich” was more of a slogan originally. But then the government started starving people and…well, you know the rest. Now pass me that plate of braised Thiel.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Well, there’s a vacancy for ‘war criminal who will never be held accountable for lying the US into a war’, so naturally there will be some people applying for the position…
how on earth are we trotting these lines out in 2025?
why on earth would we think an invasion of Venezuela would be quick and easy?

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.
If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.
